For twelve months I was employed as a Technical Officer in the Design Projects Laboratory. I provided leadership in the day-to-day operation of the Lab:• I facilitated postgraduate and externally-funded research projects and in doing so supervised undergraduate theses, hands-on undergraduate classes and student-led projects such as the UNSW Formula SAE team.• In classes ranging between 5 and 50 students I taught the fundamentals of engineering design; work which required the formulation, writing and presentation of lecture, tutorial and laboratory class material.• I oversaw the successful design and manufacture of specialised laboratory equipment and the modification and improvement of existing test models, rigs and apparatus.• In managing the laboratory’s OH&S systems I designed, published and delivered training courses to the various groups working within the laboratory.

My PhD was involved with making compressed natural gas a viable alternative fuel for use in diesel engines: http://unsworks.unsw.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/unsworks:1041. Through the course of my candidature I made extensive use of and became familiar with many types of laboratory apparatus and computer simulation packages. During my tenure I:• Modelled multi-phase supersonic flows (Mach 3.2) and shock waves using the 3-D CFD package Fluent.• Researched, co-wrote, presented and published over a dozen academic publications.• Designed and subsequently manufactured all of the necessary laboratory test rigs in my home workshop.• Tutored in subjects including Machine Systems Design (3rd Year), Internal Combustion Engines (4th Year) and CAD (1st Year) in classes of up to 100 students.• In 2009 I also taught third-year Mechanical Design and FEA to 50 students at the University of Sydney.

As part of my Co-op Scholarship, I undertook six months paid industrial training with Australia's premier mining company. Based at Howick Coal in the Hunter Valley, I managed contracts whilst both designing and commissioning major mechanical equipment. I also undertook data analysis, labour planning and spent time in the field as a Trades Assistant (in both mechanical and electrical roles).

During another Co-op work placement, I spent six months in the Powerplant Engineering division of Australia's largest international airline. I headed the team responsible for formulating a database to track components and maintenance records for Rolls-Royce RB-211 turbofan engines worldwide. For the duration of my stay I was also the full-time replacement for a Condition Monitoring Technician with twelve years experience who had been transferred to another department just before I arrived.
